Today I am 49 years old. Not too young but not too old either. Just a Happy Medium for me! I had a Beautiful Day. I received Soooo Many Beautiful Birthday wishes from Lovely Friends and Family! My boys let me sleep just a tad longer than normal. Made their own breakfast of...this is not normal by any means, Oreos and milk. I know...I know....

Then they went to Walmart, our favorite store where everyone knows us by name! Yep, that bad. Go there that often that they are like neighbors and I have a friend from there on my facebook. ;D They each bought a little toy to celebrate. <3

My oldest told me this morning...Mom, I know you love to bake and I know you are going to make a cake today. ;D So that is what I did...Made us a birthday cake.

Please note....I used a sparkler for this shot. We did not eat this piece of cake.

I have seen sparkler candles at Walmart and Party City. <3 and HUgs!

I used my Triple Chocolate Cake and added 1 cup each of chopped walnuts and caramel bits to the batter. I baked this in a springform pan.

I melted the remainder of the caramel bits and a teaspoon or so of water, then added a handful of chopped walnuts to it. You can top the cake, but we really don't like icing and toppings on our cakes...Okay, It's me that doesn't. So I make something for All the boys, little ones and hubby and add to theirs. Hope you like My Birthday Cake! <3 and Hugs!

For My Boys! After their first week of being Outstanding at school! They deserve nothing less than this Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake!

I am so very proud of all three of them. My oldest and young ones have adjusted with such ease. Especially the twins. They have never been away from me and did wonderfully this week! They are in separate classes and love It! They tell each other about the new friends they have made. They talk about the projects they worked on. They have so much fun discussing what they did.....I am glad the school decided to separate them. Frankly, I was thinking about keeping them together. My oldest learned a new game in spelling. Reunited with old friends and made new ones. He seems to be at ease in the class assignments...thus far. :DYes...They so deserve this cake. I just cut it a bit ago and they have eaten a third of it already!
